My thoughts on CO so far...

I like the character creator and powers, made a perfect Batman free form toon with good close up melee and expolding granades, something unavailable in CoX.

Game play is different, but just takes getting used to, my Dark Avenger toon was able to solo 5+ mobs at level 6, would have been toast in CoX and animations are generally good.

However the community I find is very lacking. The broadcasts are random chat noise, no 'level 6 group LFM' if fact been playing 2 weeks and have never seen anyone LFM. The teams i was invited to was just random invites where the leader said nothing then quit a few minutes later. I eveventually joined CoX channel, but even so there is a distinct lack of teaming as I expressed to the channel 'does anyone ever team?' and got the reply 'not really'.

For me the community/teaming in CoX is what drew me to the game, I think my days in CO are numbered and makes me realise that I am going to really miss CoX.

I tried to join a chat channel, however no chat channels are listed, you have to know the name of it to join. Eveventually joined CoX channel, but even so there is a distinct lack of teaming as I expressed to the channel 'does anyone ever team?' and got the reply 'not really'.

This aspect of the game sucks but I am still trying to work the game as there are no other alternatives.

I have a dark spines scrapper on freedom Spinter-cell my main toon. I run 11 toggles with no endurance issues at all. With the right build and incarnate endurance is not an issue. The dark set is great fun to play but needs more management than other sets and coupled with spines he is an absolute AoE monster

ill give you 3 bil for it @splintercell

i'll give you 3 bil @splintercell

That my current global recharge bonus -> hasten + quickness + set bonuses, i have only 1 set that doesnt have a recharge bonus associated with it, and i can say he's a monster without the incarnate ability

I have a Dual blade SR scrapper, currently i have a global recharge of 210% and soft-capped on positional defense. I was thinking of getting more recharge to run run SS-->AS-->BF--SA for the damage bonus, but not sure if I should go for damage ability and run the empowered attack chain with SS, scratching my head on this one, any advice would be welcomed

will give you 3 billion @splintercell

I suppose the 'unfaireness' i am referring to is that you could put a bid in for several months then someone puts a bid in for one day and walks away with loot. I perfer a more structured solution, an ordered queue, knowing your time will come eventually, with the current implementation , your time might never come

I assumed (and rightly so) that identical bids would be queued in chronological order, first come first served, to me that seems to be fair. The present implementation is completley based on chance so i might in theory never get the item i bid on unless i saturate the bidding to give myself a better chance. That would be very hard in the case of bidding for a +3 gladiator.

Thanks for the info, was not aware of the way the bidding system works, thx

will give 3 billion, @splintercell

When the markets merged I decided to put in a bid for Gladiator's Armor +3 def, i was the 7th bidder and bid 2 billion the cap, however there have been 9 sold since then, so what happened to my bid? Surely this is a bug or am i not understanding the bidding system? Can anyone shed any light on this.

Had this issue with my wife's PC whist playing CoH, turned out to be the power supply, the graphic card was drawing too much power. Replace the power supply with a 700w with no further issues.

Try starting CoH in safe mode, then once going adjust the the graphics options to suit your needs, that should work, I had the same issue with test server and resolved it as described.

Another way would be to introduce a PvP reward system base on your pvp kill rating, simular to unlocking the Longbow Warders badge at 400 points. Yeah you still could farm pvp kills like i did for my warders badge, but it took a month and was boring as hell, but the time taken would justify the reward. just a thought.

I play the live server with windows 7 with no problems. I downloaded the test server and copied my toon across with no problems. However, after login into the character selection screen when i attempt to enter Paragon city, COH test server locks up. This is the same for my wife who also has window 7 and plays the live server with no problems. I tried all combination with the compatibility settings with no luck. Is there an issue with windows 7 and the test server?

I paid $50 for the pre-order of Champoins, played the open beta a few times never went back to it. The pre-order still sits in its box waiting to be opened. I'm not going to lie to you, champions is Shite for lack of a better word.

tried turning off the virtual memory but still getting bad lag time switching windows, also slowed my system down alot, but well worth a try though.

just runing coh in same resolution as desktop, no other apps up, just trying swap window focus so i bring up IE or media player

i am using the same resolution as my desktop
